The other armor-piercing round was aimed straight at Fire Hammer Squad's captain, Gao Feng!

Fortunately, Jiang Li had just warned him. The moment he heard the gunshot, Gao Feng instinctively raised his hammer to shield his head.

Boom!

That armor-piercing round slammed directly into his hammer's face. The immense impact drove the hammer into his skull, leaving him dizzy and disoriented, blood streaming down!

"Enemy attack!"

Zhang Ke's face went pale as he shouted.

"Damn it, which bastard is this!"

Wei Tie and Wei Qing roared in fury. Even as their anger flared, the group quickly converged around Gao Feng, shielding him as they retreated to the corner of the alley, hiding their position.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The first shot failed, and gunfire erupted from all sides.

"Captain, captain! How are you?"

Gao Feng's head still bled freely. He shook it, forcing himself to stay lucid: "I'm fine. Lucky Jiang Li tipped me off!"

"Everyone be careful. Have Chen Gu take cover first. There are clearly at least two snipers out there!"

"Six people total, and one of them is Zhang Zehu!"

Jiang Li's gaze flickered. His psychic coverage reflected the scene with stark clarity.

"Zhang Zehu!!!"

Hearing that name, Luo Feng's anger surged. He glanced at Gao Feng, his face full of guilt.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness Brother Jiang had warned them, or that shot would have taken Gao Feng's life.

"Luo Feng, this isn't your fault!"

Seeing Luo Feng's eyes bloodshot, looking ready to charge out and fight to the death, Gao Feng quickly said: "They must have been chasing the Silver Moon Dire Wolf here!"

"Then it's my business!"

Jiang Li's expression turned cold. As killing intent rose in his eyes, the communicator crackled with Chen Gu's urgent voice: "Captain, bad news! The monster horde nearby is all surging toward your direction..."

"Damn it!"

"How insidious—they're stirring up the beast tide!"

"They want to kill us all!"

Hearing this, Gao Feng's face shifted again: "Forget the Silver Moon Dire Wolf for now. We need to flee! Jiang Li, what are you doing?"

"Killing."

Just as Fire Hammer Squad prepared to retreat, Jiang Li spat out two words.

Ring!

In a single breath, a sword's cry rang out.

Then, a streak of bloody light shot from behind him, piercing through the dilapidated residential building like a knife through butter, slicing across in one clean motion.

This time, Jiang Li made no effort to hide.

The flying sword shot forth instantly.

"What is that?"

One of Fang Squad's snipers pupils contracted sharply as he cried out in shock: "A Psychic!"

The next moment!

The Blood Shadow War Sword flashed past. A Dong and A Xiao's heads flew up to the ceiling almost simultaneously, blood spurting from their necks.

At the same time, the rest of Fang Squad's faces twisted in horror!

"Run!"

Pan Ya was decisive. Facing a Psychic of the same rank, they had almost no chance but death!

"They got away fast!"

The Blood Shadow War Sword came and went in a single breath. Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, the Wei brothers, and the others, who had been about to retreat, froze as they saw the blood still dripping from Jiang Li's flying sword.

"Brother Jiang, so you really are a Psychic..."

Luo Feng's pupils shrank, realization dawning on his face.

"Heavens, he really is a Psychic!"

"Is that a real flying sword?"

"Jiang Li, you killed people?"

Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, and the others instantly had the same thought, a flicker of shock passing through their eyes.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The frenzied beast horde charged forward, their roar like a mountain collapsing, cracking the concrete ground and even shaking dust loose from the crumbling buildings nearby.

"Luo Feng, can you dissect a Silver Moon Dire Wolf?"

Watching the beast horde surge in like a stampede of ten thousand horses, Jiang Li's eyes gleamed with coldness.

"A little," Luo Feng nodded in reply.

"Jiang Li, you mean—"

Gao Feng's eyes widened. "Once the horde surrounds us... no, you're both Psychics!"

"But—"

One of the most envied abilities of a Psychic was the power to walk on air by stepping on objects, while ordinary martial artists—even ordinary War Gods—had to rely on auxiliary tools like Light Blades just to barely manage flight.

This was also a key reason why Psychics were so fiercely contested by forces across the world.

They were practically immortal cultivators riding flying swords.

"Don't worry, Captain. I killed both snipers from Fang Squad."

Jiang Li saw Gao Feng's concern and told him plainly, "The rest ran off."

"Hah."

Though they had all guessed that Jiang Li's Blood Shadow War Sword had returned dripping with blood, meaning he had killed someone, hearing him say he'd slain two Warrior General Level experts with a single sword strike still sent a chill through their hearts.

"Alright, Jiang Li, Luo Feng, be careful. If you can get it, do it. If not, don't force yourselves."

Gao Feng gave his instructions. "Safety first."

"You two be careful!"

Zhang Ke and the Wei brothers also understood that staying would only make them a burden, so they quickly withdrew from one side.

Chapter 26: Jiang Li, War God?

"Hah! Hah!"

The stench of beast reeked through the air. Since the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's corpse lay in the middle of the alley, beasts surged in from all sides.

At that moment, Luo Feng's gaze was firm as he controlled six flying blades to begin dissecting the Silver Moon Dire Wolf's body.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Chen Gu, holding the high ground, laid down suppressive fire on one alley's beasts, his bullets spraying like they cost nothing.

"Jiang Li, Luo Feng, the alley's narrow—the beasts can't flood in all at once. I'll suppress one lane for you!"

Chen Gu's voice came through the communicator.

"Oww! Oww!"

Before Jiang Li could respond, over a dozen Unicorn Wolves from the other side lunged in ferociously. Jiang Li's eyes turned icy as he gripped his Bloodshadow Warblade, its rainbow light pulsing. Like a white bolt of lightning, he met them head-on.

"Magnetic Storm Light Blade!"

Jiang Li swung the blood-red rainbow light, condensing a crimson arc that swept across in an instant.

"Oww oww!"

The dozen Unicorn Wolves could only let out a miserable howl before their heads were sliced off, their bodies cleaved in two midair by Jiang Li.

At the same time.

Huum.

The Blood Shadow War Sword strapped to Jiang Li's back let out a low hum, then transformed into a streak of blood-red light, flashing over Luo Feng's head and shooting into the alley on the left.

A flying sword!

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the heads of six Tiger Mastiff Dogs charging at Luo Feng.

Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Amid the savage beastly howls, the beasts behind grew even more bloodthirsty and frenzied, swarming in relentlessly.
